Hm. Apparently about 90% of the wordpress site has been de-indexed. ("Crawled, but not indexed.") And this "ephemera" subsite has never been properly indexed -- Google is somehow unable to read its own sitemap.
So, if you're reading this, or any of the other materials on the site (although I can't imagine why you would), count yourself among the "few, we happy few" of Shakespeare's Agincourt.
More distressingly, lack of indexing generally leads to lack of archiving, making these words writ in water a bit more watery than most. I'm attempting to manually prompt archiving, and the occasional outputs to an Amazon self-published text seem to be a good idea.
Curiouser and curiouser. Onwards.
